Fall 2024 - This class was fun! The structure of the class pretty much requires that you stay on top of the material, and there's a lot of material. There are readings assigned for every class and iClicker questions graded for accuracy and that take your attendance. There are 2 midterm exams, each with a take-home essay worth 5 points and a final exam of the same structure. The readings are all very interesting and relevant. Dr. Groeling makes great slides and is an interesting lecturer. Towards the end of the class his lectures got kind of hard to follow with the slides (he talks a lot and the slides have a lot of text on them, which are difficult to synthesize at the same time) but he gives you the slides and recorded audio so you can also go back and review on your own. The tests were all very fair and he gives you the opportunity to write questions for the exam for extra credit. There are also a bunch of projects which are kind of a pain but relevant to what you're learning in class. Overall, kind of a heavy workload, but nothing too intense and always interesting.

I love Prof. Groeling! His humor is very entertaining. He also tries to make the class as engaging as possible through in class exercises. I think that he assigns way to much reading to possibly ever read, especially since the print is really small and some of the articles are terrible. But overall I thought the class was really interesting. And it is absolutely adorable how much he loves his wife and family.
